Dr. Lau,
Here is my attempt at a testimonial.
My name is Kent Berger. I have had Multiple Sclerosis since 1975,
and began seeing Dr. Lau for a serious pain condition called Tri-geminal Neuralgia that I have had since 1989, on Dec. 21, 1999. After having enough drugs with no result at one point in time the Neurology Dept. at the VA recommended to cut the nerve. 4 times but the problem persists. Since seeing Dr. Lau I have begun to experience periods of pain relief to the point of “no pain” beginning from 30 minutes of relief to now I have had periods of
time lasting up to 6 hr. and I am getting about 6 hr. of sleep, normal was a couple of hr. twice a day. Chewing was out of the question, drinking ability limited. Much better now. I have had 6 appointments so far and look forward to my future treatments. Dr. Lau has an excellent touch for locating the nerve and getting the right spot. I understand it is no over night fix for the problem that has persisted for 10 yrs but I am confident in Dr. Lau’s ability and expertise that we will get it done. I emphasize “we” because he works with me and gives me an explanation of what he is doing and makes me feel as important as the exact spot treatment is required and has genuine concern. I only wish I had done this before I allowed the surgery. I anticipate & look forward to adding my experiences with this in the future and I will continue to have positive results.
Sincerely,
Kent Berger

Dear Dr. Lau
I would like to thank you. I had had concerns about he aspirin and other
pain medications I have taken over the years. I wonder about the side
effects they have on my liver and kidneys.
I have found that with acupuncture I have relief from the pain and soreness
in my neck and back. I sleep much better and longer at nights. The effect
of acupuncture lasts much longer than medication and the worry about side
effects in not a concern.
Thank you very much for your help. It is great to feel this good.
Sincerely yours,

I wish to advise that I. participated in the study regarding Acupuncture Treatments For Lower Back Pain and had miraculous success. Prior to acupuncture I was not able to make beds, stand at sinks, walk up steps, etc. When I enrolled in this program my measurement of pain was (9) or (10). As of this date it is (.0).
Regarding pain medication usage I was taking 4-6 Advil tablets daily and it was necessary to take 2 Tylenol PM tablets nightly. I now take no medication for pain.
Herbert Lau administered my treatments and I feel certain that along with his skills in acupuncture, his informative, efficient and compassionate manners played a great part in my healing.
Sincerely,

Dear Doctor,
As a long time sufferer of lower back pains I was glad to read of your unit and the Mercy College student clinics. I therefore enrolled for the course and now some six weeks later I am trouble free.Throughout my treatment, I was attend by Dr. Herbert Lau to whom I accredit the fact that I can move, walk with ease and sleep in comfort. Add to this the fact that my outlook on life is much brighter now at the age of 79. I may grow old gracefully now!
The good Dr. Lau took me through the various stages of treatment always explaining what was going on and even attentive to my comfort.
In sincere appreciation,
Ray de Vere
